Welcome

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated multiple crises across healthcare, economic, and social systems in the US and across the world.

Progressive and radical organizations must rise to meet the immediate challenges of these crises, while also working to replace the failing systems that gave rise to them. We must practice solidarity by aiding impacted communities and by marshaling scientists and scientific resources in these efforts. We demand accountability for the effects of these crises from government, financial, and social institutions. We must support institutions conducting, supporting and applying scientific research related to the pandemic.

We demand that the needs of low-income and marginalized people are put first in public assistance programs dealing with the pandemic.

We demand that any science and technology developed to respond to the pandemic are available for all, without profit or patent.

We demand that all public and private healthcare institutions listen to and meet the needs of nurses and healthcare workers.

We demand that transportation and supply workers be given adequate pay, benefits, and protection immediately, not only during the pandemic but permanently.

We demand that healthcare and essential service workers be given proper personal protective equipment for their safety.

We demand truth in reporting and accurate data about the pandemic.

We demand adequate funding and support for public research institutions.
